5. Oh no, he knew, and went along with it...that quote means nothing

Being a Clinton appointee doesn't mean he doesn't have feet of clay. I don't glean any sense of innocence from the quoted text; rather, I see it as a frustrated manager reacting to redundant tasks being forced on him and his staff.

Read "Fiasco" and "Assassin's Gate". Tenet was in on the fix, all along.

Worse, he knew it was a sham but did little or nothing to stop it. That's why the CIA lost so many intelligence analysis personnel in the last few years; who wants to work for a boss that's willing to let you twist in the breeze, when you were calling "bullshit" all along?
